[DRE-maint] Bug#1000623: The tests hide a programming bug: NameError: uninitialized constant I18n::Inflector::Rails::BadInflectionKind

While fixing the package for the Ruby 3.0 and Rails 6.1 transition, I
discovered that the tests actually hide a bug in the code. Several tests
throw:

  NameError: uninitialized constant I18n::Inflector::Rails::BadInflectionKind

and indeed, this class is called twice via

  I18n::Inflector::Rails::BadInflectionKind.new()

but I cannot find any definiton. The i18n-inflector gem contains a
I18n::BadInflectionKind class, but it requires to pass the locale as well,
which is not available in the no_inflection_method_for() method.

This looks like a genuine bug and the upstream project hasn't seen any
development since 2013. The only package using this gem is diaspora.

Regards, Daniel
